AI is driving data growth to unprecedented dimensions - but storage, energy and sovereignty are becoming bottlenecks. Companies are facing rising costs, regulatory pressure and geopolitical dependencies. This keynote shows why cold data is becoming a strategic infrastructure issue - and what technological and organizational steps need to be taken today to ensure resilience, cost control and digital independence.

Digital sovereignty is not a theoretical ideal, but a practical design task. The masterclass uses specific projects to show how organizations can analyse their sovereignty concerns, develop target images and roadmaps and make well-founded decisions on data, workloads and cloud services. We also provide an overview of the challenges involved in procuring sovereign IT solutions as well as the necessary organizational skills and trade-offs between control, innovation and profitability.
